Lenten Discipleship Groups
On March 4, 11, 18 and April 1 at 6 pm we will have three different groups meeting to engage with the week‘s Gospel Lesson:
"Engaging with the Word”
Seeing: Beginner’s Bible Journaling: Come learn about meditating on God’s Word in a uniquely personal way through art and journaling. Each week Katie Shull will demonstrate a new Bible Journaling technique (Cornerstone Classroom 3rd floor).
Hearing: Lectio Divina, or “divine reading” is a trusted and ancient pattern of reading shorter passages of scripture at a slow, purposeful pace to allow time and space for the Holy Spirit to speak. Join Eric Porterfield for a time of reflective listening to God’s Word.
(Fellowship Hall).
Caring: Within the call to love one another as Christ has loved us lies the call to caregiving. All those who offer care in any form for a loved one, whether a parent, child, spouse, sibling, or friend, are invited to join this group for a time of listening, learning, and reflecting together on the gifts and challenges of caregiving. Facilitated by Ann Niday and Alicia Porterfield (Friendship Classroom)
Note: No Wednesday Night Activities March 25 (CCS Spring Break) or April 8 (Holy Week).
